cdamion Posted January 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Didn't an MSC ship just run aground in the Bahamas a few days ago? This one sounds much more serious though. Hope cooler heads prevail on board and everybody gets off safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG_Steve Posted January 14, 2012 #15 Share Posted January 14, 2012 And I ask, how many laugh at and think the life-boat drills are "stupid." I get your point. But the way they're being done is stupid. Sitting in the theatre with no life vest and sipping your drink and talking during the drill doesn't amount to squat.

cuyahoga11 Posted January 14, 2012 #16 Share Posted January 14, 2012 And I ask, how many laugh at and think the life-boat drills are "stupid." That was my first thought when I read the article. Some brag how they hide out to keep from attending the drill, then there are the ones that are too drunk to comprehend what is said or busy taking pictures and having a grand time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG_Steve Posted January 14, 2012 #18 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Will be interesting to hear what happened. With all that high tech navigation gear it seems hardly possible to run into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
